This year's haunted house at 1323 N. Lee Treviño -- "where nightmares come to life and fear is manufactured around every corner," as their website boasts -- should have plenty of scares. You can just smell the chainsaw fumes, can't you?
It's open from 6 p.m. to midnight today. Admission is $12, $7 for 12 and younger, on sale at the door, 7-Eleven Fina stores and Pic Quik stores in Las Cruces. 544-9500, klaq.com.
